[QUOTE="vpuigdoller, post: 7471516, member: 6804036"] If we take as example that gunpowder technology took about 1 thousand years to travel from China to Spain we can easily see what you mean. Still resources, knowledge and training by trial and error is going to be needed and ppl are going to want to keep the technology secret si they can be the only ones profiting from them. So yes I agree having thinker gnomes does starts moving the wheel towards industrial progress but it will take a huge smount of time for it to happen. In the mean while you can have many plot events regarding this. Enemy spies, the effects of using it in war, greedy gnomes dont want to share their secrets etc. So the question for you is: is it an issue to keep evolving your world? Even if it takes around 1 thousand years of in game time? I would allow it and see how it goes. Totally can understand if you dont allow it as well it all depends on your goals with the game.
